We took Karys to the Houston Zoo for the 1st time yesterday with our friends Travis & Jennifer and their daughter, Haylee. The girls had a really great time and when they weren't too busy playing with each other and the toys in the wagon, they enjoyed looking at all the animals.

We were impressed Karys did so well considering she missed her morning nap and we were at the zoo for about 5 hours! She loved the goats in the petting zoo and loved running around to pet them all. The wagon was definitely the way to go too! It held all our stuff, the girls and the toys.

Karys passed out the minute we put her in the carseat, slept all the way home and then in her crib - for a total of over 3 hours!

We did lose Karys' beloved Elmo at some point during the day - even going to Lost & Found to try to find him. One of the girls must have thrown him out of the wagon and none of us noticed :( I think Tim & I were more upset than Karys was so we went to ToysRUs today and got her a similar one since we couldn't find the special Valentine Elmo again.

We had a really good day though and plan on taking her to the Zoo again when she's a bit older. She had a lot of fun now so we know it will only get better each time!
